I've only once made it over to the UK in May-June, which is a shame as I love the spring...

I'd like to do the wind chamber music course that Andrew Knights teaches on in the south of France but this year it clashes with the 5th week at Dartington (Nicholas Daniels!) and I can't afford the time and cash to do both. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I probably need a couple of years more to be able to make the most of it anyway...

Hope to see you there one year Katica. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Made a mistake in my typing - it will be my 4th yr running. I wasn't playing the oboe 5 yrs ago! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

I've just got the July-December brochure and am considering Janet Myatts Summer Winds or Janet Myatts Introduction to Chamber Music. The first is grade 6 plus and the 2nd is grade 3 plus, so it depends on how brave I feel when I come to book!
I did G7 last summer, but don't want to feel too out of my depth. (Any feed back from others on the level of the Summer Winds course would be appreciated.)
My other alternative is the Hindhead Clarinet and Saxophone course which I did last year and thouroughly enjoyed. - decisionbs decisions.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

I went on Janet Myatts Intro to Chamber music last year, and am repeating this year. You'll be placed in a small group with others your standard, so no matter if you are Grade 4 or diploma, the playing will be at your level. If you read through this thread, you'll see three of us are going to be on the April weekend. See you there?

Does everyone on these courses choose the residential option or are there some people (not necessarily forumites) who go home every evening?

I saw the option but wondered if anyone ever used it. On the other courses I have been on rather a lot seemed to happen after the evening meal (despite it not always being officially on the programme) plus that seemed to be when people got to know each other so I wondered if those who are non-residential miss out on a lot.

I don't know, this will be the first course I've been on.... I suspect there will be things going on and I'm not sure what time the final playing session is so maybe they wouldn't miss out on much.

OK, thanks. Perhaps someone who has been on one might come along later and tell me a bit more.

I am dithering between a Benslow course and another one. I actually like them being residential as it means I can have a complete break from the rest of the family and just concentrate on music but Benslow is close enough for it not to have to be residential so I suppose I'm really looking for an excuse to convince the family of why it should be residential (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (Or I could just choose the other course and not tell them that Benslow exists (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

bassoonista has been before, I'll give her a nudge at band tonight if she hasn't replied (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Must admit, I'm looking forward to concentrating on music for a few days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
